Bri Harless

Bri aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship from the first meeting. She holds a master’s degree in Counseling with emphasis in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy.

Bri has 14 years of experience in clinical work, with early years focused on supporting people affected by substance use and later years in independent practice. Over that time she has worked extensively with trauma, PTSD, ADHD, grief, and compassion fatigue as well as relationship and LGBT concerns.

Bri draws from several approaches and picks tools to fit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act on their values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

She also brings client-centered principles to keep sessions grounded in each person’s needs. Her style is practical and collaborative.

Bri sees her role as a guide, helper, and teacher who respects individual autonomy. She focuses on skills people can apply in daily life, not just ideas discussed in the office.

If reaching out feels hard, Bri acknowledges that and welcomes that step. She encourages a first session to review goals, try an approach, and decide what fits best moving forward.
